A couple of years ago, I drove to Chattanooga for the second day (Sunday) of a two-day Regional. In a word, it was awful -- lots of clocks; lots of banged up watches; absolutely nothing even close to being a "buy" or a "find". By noon, the dealers were closing down their tables, and I was visiting the Tennessee Aquarium (which was probably worth the trip).

The advice here might be that the shows vary considerably and you always do better to get there early.
